GoPro Mounts

by Lucas Martling on July 25, 2012

With everyone and their mother owning a GoPro camera, I thought it was time to review the best and cheapest GoPro Mounts your money can buy!  Let’s begin!

I must first begin this GoPro Mount review with a story.  Yes, even me, oh wise one can screw up some times.  When climbing Dunn’s River Falls in Jamaica this past holiday season, I thought snapping a thick piece of ribbon into my GoPro’s housing would be safe enough.  NOPE!  I was wrong.  One quick slip on the rocks, and BAM!  My little piece of ribbon was snapped off the GoPro case, and BYE BYE camera.  Don’t make the same mistake it did.  Oh, and if you find a GoPro camera in Jamaica…please send it back over this way :)

This one seems intense, but who am I to judge?  I’d rather look like a dummy wearing this, than have lost my camera in the first place:
